Jakarta Sets September 2026 Groundbreaking for Its Giant Sea Wall
- Jakarta planned to break ground on its stretch of the giant sea wall in September 2026, Governor Pramono Anung said on 20 January 2026, while awaiting final direction from the central government[4][5]
- By late August and early September Pramono would no longer confirm the September date, saying the project is the central government's to direct and Jakarta is waiting[2][3]
- Jakarta's segment is 19 km, up from an initial 12 km, projected at around US$1 billion a year over eight years of construction[4][5]
- It is part of President Prabowo Subianto's roughly 500 km (up to 535 km) coastal defence from Banten to East Java, expected to cost up to $80 billion and take 15 to 20 years[4][5]
- The design is hybrid, combining concrete with nature-based measures such as mangrove restoration[4]
